VOR 450 Enduro

I'm beginning to think I'm the only person left in New Zealand with a VOR.

Are there any others out there? With a VOR and a Katana in the garage I'm starting to wonder if I'm possibly a bit strange...

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Yeah, there's definitely more Katanas than there are VORs for sure mate.

Wasn't me doing flat track, although that sounds like a great idea.

MAtt Ineson is who has the flat track Vertimatti, he used to super motard it as well, and he has a katana as well that he took to Philip Island (or something around that era suzuki anyway )

Hmmm... so maybe it is some kind of unique madness then - VORs and Katanas.

The company was founded in 1998 and was headquartered in Ronco Briantino, Milan.

Although VOR mostly focused on off-road motorcycles, it migrated to street bikes in 2002, the same year it changed its name to VOR Motorcycles.

VOR was founded by Alvaro and Guido, two brothers who mostly gained off-road experience by working for other companies. For instance, Vertemati previously worked with Husaberg.

However, due to unknown reasons, the collaboration between Husaberg and Vertemati ended and the Italian company started to develop its own prototypes. VOR didnt produce too many models, and its most popular motorcycle was the MX 450.

The VOR EN-E 450 and 530 are big-bore four-strokes that resemble a runaway steamroller to ride. They are big bikes with a tonne of power, and the black plastics give them a unique look, as does the arse-about kickstarter.

The VOR has a few unique features such as the cassette gearbox having different gear ratio options for first and fifth gears, as well as the option of a three-speed gearbox.

Weighing 114kg, the VOR is a rather big bike, but the power keeps that weight tractoring along at great speeds  if you going to ride a VOR, you better be ready for a fierce ride.
